I think it goes a bit beyond karma, though. It's also has the recurrent theme of cannibalism (sometimes literally, but also in the way of "dog eat dog" or people preying on each other). And it's also how small actions, ideas can influence people and history over generations - how no actio exists in a vacuum, and how one drop in an ocean can create change over time.

It's okay to be underwhelmed (and I think the book is in some ways better than the film- elaborating more on some themes and anso playing with writing styles) - but I still think it was a great way of storytelling, and one of the more thought-provoking films I've seen in the last few years.

If your religion and upbringing makes you think about all that anyway, a movie is not going to be provoking any new thought about it.

But apparently you find it new and thought-provoking that not all movies are made especially with you and your upbringing in mind?

Pointing out that there's reason to not be blown away like a lot of other people seem to have been. Unruffle them feathers, nonny, you sound singed.

My point is that I thought it went way beyond the religious concept of karma as I understand it and had other overarching themes that are very interesting (imo).

There's also more to Hinduism than karma, though. Why didn't OP put all of that, IDK, there's only so much space in a secret?

[kallanda_lee]

Obviously there's more to Hinduism than karma - but OP didn't phrase it that way (and let's be honest, that would have taken like one extra line).

Since all secret posters are anonymous here and we do not have extra info, then the sentences chosen in the secret ARE our only frame of reference.

Obviously it will be less of a though-provoking to someone who has already thought about a lot of these concepts - well duh.

I'm just saying simply reducing the film to being "about karma" does do the story injustice.

[(Anonymous)]

This is true. You read the book on the level it was meant to be read, rather than being distracted by surface style elements like the OP.
